I enjoyed your article on social democracy (just read it, 18 months after you wrote it). I see you're looking for others who believe social democracy is the solution to what ails advanced sector nations. My substack, Reviving Social Democracy, has a different orientation but you may find the analysis of the history and current politics of SD to be of interest. My approach has been driven by Robert Gordon's thesis that advanced economies are in an extended period of secular stagnation forcing social democrats to take a more direct approach to social progress. Check out:
Note: Social democracy generally aims to control capitalist economies. The Nordic social democracies have capitalist economies. I think I get why the title of your newsletter suggests that social democracy can be "post-capitalist" but it needs some explanation.
Thanks. That was an introduction to the concept of post-capitalist social democracy and an essay further explaining what I mean is long overdue. Soon, soon. I'm back at the typewriter after a long hiatus.
